Koi Palace

You always feel as if you were in Hong Kong when you walk through the keyhole entrance at this Daly City Cantonese restaurant. Fish tanks filled with crab, geoduck, rock cod and other fish lead into a 450-seat dining room, a little worse for wear, filled with a sea of people. The restaurant, owned by Ronny and Willy Ng, opened in 1996, and longtime chef Kam-Chiu Leung continues to oversee the banquets and a menu that contains several hundred dishes. Seafood stars here, including sweet prawns simply steamed and served with a soy dipping sauce spiked with chiles. Leung is also known for his suckling pig.
